Poll: What's the Best "Buck Backpedal" Descriptor?

by: Colorado Pols

Wed Aug 18, 2010 at 09:58:57 AM MDT


We discussed the day before yesterday the swift pace at which GOP Senate nominee Ken Buck is running away from various strident positions he took during the primary, as in the "private sector" being much better at running Social Security, and how he was, um, not paying attention or something when he endorsed eliminating direct election of U.S. Senators.

Anyway, since there are a number of big, nasty on-record moments lurking out there yet to be abandoned, several suggested descriptive terms have been forwarded to us to keep the process mnemonic and orderly--a last name like "Buck," we'll concede, does inspire some creative choices. Rather than pick the wrong one, a poll of our astute community follows--"Buck-track?" "Buck-flip?" "Going Buckwards?" Here's your chance to, if you will, spin the spin.

I'm not sure which is best, but I know what rhymes with Buck. n/t


If there are enough reversals,
does that qualify as a ClusterBuck?

Attempts a Buck-Flip...
...and crushes on his integrity.

Bucking ridiculous.


There once was a speaker named Frank
Asked to vote his conscience, he drew a blank
Bet it all to kill just one bill
Now, here's the word on the Hill:
This fall, Dems have the House in the tank.


Bucking-A it is.

A tempest in a teapot
Buck's minor clarifications of his positions hardly compare to Bennet throwing Obama, Washington D.C., and virtually all of his supporters under the bus for political gain.

Huh?
Do tell.  Use specifics.  Show your work.

It was in Bennet's acceptance speech.
He railed at Washington D.C., saying what's going on there is not what Coloradans want, after running his entire campaign off of Obama and big money from Wall St. banks.

For many months Bennet has called for reform
of Senate rules and procedures. You are wrong again BJ. You can have a cookie anyway. I know the positive reinforcement won't help you learn but why should I care about your ignorance? After all, you'll be paying for social security benefits for many of us for the next 50 years or so. Thanks for that.

Let;s not be too harsh on the little pissant
He's wrong for a good reason.  He's clueless.

I'm reminded of something said in my youth,

One explanation for why a 23 y/o has so much time to spend with us.

I suppose we all have to make sacrifices,
because anything that keeps that idiot from passing on his genes is a service to the human race.

[ Parent ]
Exactly why social security needs to be reformed.
But in all seriousness, did you miss Obama endorsing and campaigning for Bennet, while Bennet rubberstamped every one of Obama's bills? Where have you been?
